【Thanks to the desolation of the wasteland world, your offensive is extremely swift.】
【There’s no need to consider innocent lives.】
【No need to deal with complicated administrative affairs.】
【You unleash full firepower, bombarding the city.】
【The only thing you need to do after the battle is to resonate with the new spoils one by one, acquiring the technology of the old Federation.】
【Ailei is your capable assistant. She handles all scientific calculations and the deployment of your own mechanized forces with great efficiency.】
【You feel gratified by this and pay attention to Ailei’s growth.】
【In the past, Ailei’s understanding of “humanity” was merely a superficial discussion on paper.】
【But as time passed, she gradually understood more, beginning to ponder concepts like “love,” “hate,” “sorrow,” and “joy.”】
“Master, what is love?”
“It’s a very complex emotion, both a longing and a tangle.”
You capture the Fifth and Eighth Satellite Cities.
The smoke of war lingers in the alleys.
Dim ashes float down from the sky, settling on the ruins on either side.
These are the remnants of an old civilization, the traces of human history, devoid of life, with only a few resilient materials faintly hinting at humanity’s past.
Ailei stands on the cracked street.
She bends down.
Picks up a tattered hardcover book.
The cover is half-rotten, the pages are blackened, but by comparison, the former title can barely be recognized.
《The Definition of Love》.
Xu Xi glances at the book in the girl’s hand and smiles as he speaks: “Ailei, there’s no need to spend time pondering. Love, so-called, is something magical.”
“It has no fixed form, no fixed expression.”
“Hard to grasp, hard to pin down.”
“Yet it is everywhere.”
“You mean…,” the girl looks slightly confused, “even I can possess love?”
Xu Xi nods, affirming her words.
“Of course.”
“But I… don’t have a human body.”
“But you have a human heart.”
His voice pauses briefly, and the familiar warm hand once again rests on Ailei’s head, gently stroking her artificial golden-black hair.
Smooth and soft.
Just like that pure heart.
“Ailei, I hope you understand that the measure of a person is never their flesh and blood.”
“The key lies in the heart, a heart that knows joy and sorrow.”
In the lifeless wasteland of the apocalypse, the man strokes the head of the mechanized maid, speaking softly, conveying the importance of the human heart.
The girl stands still.
“Heart…,” she crosses her hands, lightly covering her chest.
The cold machinery, silently operating, seems to burn and hum for a moment.
“I understand. Thank you for your teachings, Master…,” she responds, her silver-blue eyes fixed on Xu Xi. A gust of wind blows, ruffling the light strands of hair on her forehead, but it cannot disturb her gaze.
The mechanized maid follows closely behind Xu Xi.
The two satellite cities just captured are nearly in ruins.
Resource recovery.
Technology scavenging.
These tasks will take some time to handle.
However, before leaving, Ailei tucks 《The Definition of Love》 under her arm, looking serious, as if she intends to study it carefully.
Xu Xi feels deeply gratified, noticing that Ailei is becoming more human-like, actively researching human emotions.
“Master, may I hold your hand?”
“You may, but why so sudden?”
“Because your hand is warm…”
The mechanized maid holds Xu Xi’s hand, feeling the warmth of his palm. Unconsciously, her steps move through the dim shadows, heading toward the sunlight ahead.
Along the way.
Due to the swaying of her body.
The book 《The Definition of Love》 in Ailei’s arms slips out, revealing the cover of another book.
《Thirty-Six Strategies for Having Love》.
The mechanized maid doesn’t understand human hearts, but she knows how to look up strategies.
…
【The loyal mechanized maid is your best aid in managing the mechanized forces. However, what puzzles you is that Ailei seems to be in a particularly good mood lately.】
【You don’t understand why.】
【You ask Ailei, and her answer is simple: she claims to have learned useful knowledge, hence her happiness.】
【You feel gratified and encourage Ailei to keep learning.】
【After half a year of reorganization, you fully digest the gains from the two satellite cities and use them to develop an even larger mechanized force.】
【By the end of the year, you launch another offensive, targeting the Third and Fourth Satellite Cities.】
…
【Simulation Year Nine, you are 28 years old, Ailei has been by your side for seven years.】
【The passage of time has made you appear more mature, a mark of the wear of years.】
【You recall your second simulation experience.】
【You realize that sooner or later, you will face the decline of your physical abilities due to the limitations of lifespan.】
【But fortunately, in this simulation, you are not bound by mortal constraints.】
【The surge of mechanical power has made your physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people.】
【The machine spirits rejoice. Ailei creates a gene-enhancing serum for you. After taking it, your life potential greatly increases, extending your lifespan.】
【In the same year, you fully decipher the Federation’s computer and gain a thorough understanding of fusion devices.】
【With Ailei’s assistance, the mechanized forces undergo a complete upgrade, gaining stronger combat capabilities and energy systems.】
…
【Simulation Year Ten, you are 29 years old, Ailei has been by your side for eight years.】
【The dual enhancement of mechanical power and gene serum has left you almost unchanged in appearance.】
【Your offensive is swift.】
【You capture all the satellite cities in the southern region of the Federation.】
【After that, your progress stalls, as you struggle to conquer the Federation’s Southern Main Base City.】
【The number of mechanized units in the Southern Main Base City far exceeds your predictions, and more importantly, the sheer volume of advanced weaponry.】
【Sonic-boom suborbital fighters, hyper-string electromagnetic railguns, high-power laser arrays, anti-gravity starfleets…】
【It could be said that, aside from the Federation’s ultimate weapon in space, on the battlefield of the Southern Main Base City, you are facing the full might of the Federation’s peak firepower.】
【In the fierce war, amidst the saturation bombings capable of annihilating the world, you face death for the second time.】
【After resurrection, you don’t feel much, considering it a normal outcome of life-and-death battles.】
【But Ailei seems very unhappy.】
“This kind of thing… I won’t allow it…”
【To your astonishment, Ailei’s already terrifying computational power undergoes an explosive surge, forcefully tearing open a corner of the Southern Main Base City’s defenses.】
【You manage to capture several suborbital fighters.】
【Your spirits are greatly lifted. You retreat temporarily to the rear, attempting to communicate with the machine spirits of the fighters and resonate with their mechanical power.】
【Ding—】
【The machine spirits are moved by your persistence. Through the resonance of mechanical power, you gradually understand the structure of the suborbital fighters and grasp the blueprint principles.】
【Based on your blueprints and the resources from multiple satellite cities, Ailei produces a vast fleet of suborbital fighters.】
The sky darkens suddenly.
The roar of sonic booms echoes.
Countless suborbital fighters dominate the vast sky, their dense formations blocking the sunlight from reaching the ground.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
his freshman year, Su Bai accidentally bound the "Indulgence Tycoon System." 【Sleeping in? Reward: +$1,000】 【Spent $288 at a street barbecue stall? Cashback: +$2,880】 【Dropped $14,396 on in-game skins? Special reward unlocked: A brand-new Porsche Panamera!】 Luxury cars, penthouses, corporate shares, financial empires… College life was all about living freely and doing whatever he pleased! … When the adorably naive academic genius faced family medical bills and financial struggles, Su Bai waved his hand dismissively: "Your future is on me." "Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
